I put out two new videos every week on moving to the UK including UK work visas and UK student visas and life in the UK once you get here so if you plan on moving to the UK, this is the channel for you!

Hi Asika. I appreciate your video. Haven't been in the UK for a very long time, on my way back this week. I'm trying to get from Elgin or Forres Scotland to an event in London at 7pm, October 13. Good idea for a new video?

[@Judy-zs4gz]

[@lolo-wz6qm]

Helpful vedio！！That may save a lot when travelling! And I saw other more cost-effective ways to buy with a 5% off discount!

Also the railcards are legit money savers! Even found a discount code that saved me extra money when buying mine. Super student-friendly, tbh!

[@Wanyeee]

[@pujapartani7373]

Hey, thank you for this elaborate video. What is the difference between a travel card and an oyster card?

[@cindiqq2292]

She explains travel card at around 16:00. And then explains oyster card.

[@radhasawhney9085]

Hi..I need ur help..wanted to know wheather oyster travel card works on thameslink line also???I am planning to stay in ibis Bromley centre..Wat is the shortest and cheapest way to roam around London?

[@code-on-trainpal]

Thank you great sharing. btw, I found a cheaper way to get uk train ticket.

[@HanWang-co5iw]

Another tips for saving money on the transport is that you can Railcard to get cheaper train tickets. It works for tickets all across Europe!

[@Kaylee-zx1nz]

That’s right! Railcard save me a lot of money! and I found some promotion codes for buy it! Save me more😂

[@stefaniamondelli6977]

Hi Ashika! For a stay of 5 days in London, is it better to charge the Oyster with a 7 days Travel Card or is it better to pay as you go?

[@seeitsayitdoggo]

with a week travelcard you pay upfront and it lasts a full 7 days, with PAYG you travel and it takes off single journeys until you hit a day or week cap. Generally PAYG is better if you're not 100% sure how much you'll be travelling because if you don't spend enough in single and day caps to hit the week cap you pay less

[@dhruvmakwana3296]

Hi I got travelcard for zone 3(Balham) -6 (Uxbridge)I got charged for 1-2 zone because I travel through which is alright? Because I am just travel through not get of in 1-2 ?

[@richardstephen3220]

Hey there Ashika, hope you're doing well. I recently saw your video with regards to the probable visa updates which might affect the psw duration for students. I'm aspiring to come in for this fall intake. I understand it'd be wrong of me to ask you this, but how much of a chance do you think of this actually happening, since everyone right from the universities and the education board are not too hot on this proposal, and even if it does end up happening will it be applicable to me, since I'm not aware on how the parliamentary sessions are scheduled in the UK. Honestly I'm really worried about how things are shaping up, as you very rightly said in the video 6 months is too short a time to make good on getting a decent job and start paying up on dues. I'd really appreciate your take on the matter. Thanks :)

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Hi Richard, unfortunately there is no word since then. The Education Secretary is pushing back but there is no update on a decision or by when they would expect to take it.

[@richardstephen3220]

@@AbsolutelyAshika Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it and everything else you're doing for everyone of us 🙏🏻

[@UVrocks]

Hi Ashika, thank you for the detailed information. Forex card or Oyster Card ? For 7 days Tour ?

[@aqibtariq8638]

oyster card can be issued for 1 day or for forever and you just have to top up any amount you want.

[@UVrocks]

@@aqibtariq8638 Thanks dear.. so in your opinion Oyster is better than Forex. Taking a note !👍🙏

[@tenzingayatso6401]

Hi Ashika, which mode of travel card (either oyster or rail card) should be used if we have to travel in bus/tube daily for job purposes and change different buses?

[@code-on-Trip-app]

Railcard can be used in different cities in UK, if you plan to go somewhere else, you can buy one. They have also had preferential railway activities recently.

[@EILEENZ0122]

Railcard is amazingly convenient🎉 Plus the Railcard used in UK now has a discount😂

[@ecbeljeda]

Hello. Thank you for your video. It’s really helpful. May I know if contactless debit cards issued outside of the UK like HSBC Debit Visa Card works as payment method for tube train or bus? Thank you!

[@godspowerdavid538]

Yes it does

[@code-on-Trip-app]

They can all be used, and remember to use discounts.

[@Kaylee-zx1nz]

Yep you can use the apple pay when travelling by tube or bus. But it quite expensive

[@EILEENZ0122]

Can, but the handling fees usually break u😮😮😮

[@Code-on-TRIP]

Yes and Apple Pay is convenient. You can also use some app to buy tickets because it always has some discount. Like trainpal I heard recently, if someone need the discount code, tell me, I will share, for free

[@taasmr4203]

*How much will it cost me to travel on public trains and buses if I want to stay in London for 5 days and if I want to visit Hyde Park, 10 Downing Street, Buckingham Palace, London Bridge, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, all free museums, Oxford Circus, South Hall(Desi neighborhood), Clock Tower, Madam Tassau Museum, etc?*

[@shoshinsamurai7901]

Thanks for the video. Question- TFL. Transport for London. But what does that actually mean and why is it important to know?

[@code-on-Trip-app]

Because transportation costs in the UK are more expensive, it's better to buy a card. But the traveler's stay time is short, which is not cost-effective. If you want to go to other cities in the UK by train, there happens to be an event recently.

[@HanWang-co5iw]

Transport in London is super expensive, but I can tell you how to save money on it if you want to travel to London 😂

[@nediyarambathm.a5445]

If i take axis forex card.whether can i use it for bus ,train ,cab etc.its a short trip for cruise.or which is better.pls

[@EILEENZ0122]

U can buy a railcard for UK travel, and I also know a cheaper way to purchase😎

[@code-on-Trip-app]

I think it is necessary to make a strategy in advance to find some railway discounts. After all, the transportation cost in the UK is very high.

[@HanWang-co5iw]

I agree with you. Actually I know a way to get cheaper tickets…

[@Kaylee-zx1nz]

Yep that’s ture

[@EILEENZ0122]

Deeply agreed👍👍👍 have the same opinion when first arrived😱 thanks to trainpal for the huge discount😂

[@NicoleLee14147]

I have to say that the UK is a place that everyone must visit in their lifetime. The rich cultural heritage, diverse society and scenic views are all worth knowing about! For tourist and person who live here, the travel fee is really insane… I have been there like 5 years and I really recommend the app I found that has discount on every journey! Tell me if u need it, I'll share!

[@Kaylee-zx1nz]

That’s nice to hear!

[@AlexEwan1]

You can walk the 1.2 miles to school easily assuming you are fit and healthy. Personally I would jump on y bike and cycle.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Ahh, I can. But dragging a 5yr old along in the snow or the rain is not ideal.

[@Ymemes.]

Better for you to give advices about indian kerla as an indian person

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

I'm sorry I really don't follow.

[@user-sz8ze9cu3r]

Is there any way or scholarship for Syrians who lost everything because of the earthquake so I can come to UK an free way

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Hi there, nothing that I'm aware of yet unfortunately.

Golden rule of screening useful videos. Do not open a video that is more than 5 minutes. Even if you do close it if the introduction is longer than one minute. Save your precious time. Save your precious data.

If only all of us could fit all the information we needed to share in under 5 mins.

It is useful for me And I also want to share a code to buy tickets on TrainPal
